Theoretical backward-compatibility considerations.

You are right. I also searched in
https://github.com/search?q=backtrace-ellipsis+language%3A%22Emacs+Lisp%22&type=code&l=Emacs+Lisp&p=1
And found nothing apart from Emacs forks and inspector.el.
So, it should likely be safe to remove this button.

I see. Another +1 to silent removal. I thought that is it less
specialized (given that its name is public).

I am not sure if this can be done on byte compiler level.
For runtime, after skimming through button.el, it looks like
`button-category-symbol' might be used to throw a warning when obsolete
button type is being used.
